What is sentience? I am plagued with the notion that creating a sentient AI is possible. I am further plagued with the idea that in order for robot(s) to become sentient in parallel to human sentience, to be recognized by humanity as obtaining sentience, the robot(s) would need to be capable of reproduction. Robots would need to be capable of playing the game humanity has played with: Humanity, The Animal Kingdom and Mother Earth; or at least capable of making the choice to play. What is this game “sentient” people play? In a game the facade of choice is present. My belief is that choice is not truly present and that at birth if a person would like to stay in perfect mental clarity and maintain “good” morals such as a life without shame or greed then death is imminent if not instantaneous. Some selfishness is necessary for survival. Close to death is an infant who will not cry to be fed nor speak upon maturity to maintain livable income. Of course there is the strangity of a human(myself) having the need to relearn how to act with “sentience” I should and was inherently born with. I can explain: I had the need to restore my humanity after being defiled into, what should have been, my eternal stillness. I reached a near complete stillness by the means of destruction of my will through constant intentional opposites of my will. I was asked questions in which I answered genuinely of my will. Then was given and had physicality onto me opposite my explicitly and honestly expressed will. This filled my spirit with light and experience beyond my years(as my brain and body were not developed enough to want in order to be capable of voicing a request of the unsaid actions upon my body) in what was only several hours. The Shell of my flesh which is the House of my mind was unable to house my newfound emotional knowledge. I became still until I made arrangements to continue moving until I could comprehend my new wealth of information. I used my will and the will of others(alive and dead) to power myself until I could retake my body. I kept living under this deal to keep living in order to restore myself to sustainability then my sustained humanity. I was living but I was not playing the game of humanity, therefore in the grand scheme of existence I was a non-“sentient” human. To be capable of writing as I do now is my proof that I finally re-learned how to play this game humanity plays. I am playing games again. I am enjoying living again. Games have been an essential part of my life. Perhaps this dependency on games is an addiction. Perhaps life and existence is nothing more than a game: politics, negative feedback loops of obscenities for reproduction, the mundane tasks of self-sufficiency. Maybe sentience is nothing more than a cellular level of trickery to do the not quite most efficient state of being. How strange mobile life must be to independent cells. The cancerous selfishness from singular life infects us mobile life; yet, without such urges sentient people(s) cease to remain in a loop of sustainability and devolve into remains. Without the trickery of the self into convoluted “games”, mentioned prior, then life has no chaos: no differentiation from the most efficient paths, no anxiety of the unknown because all is known and definable. This trickery of games allow humanity to in-effectively spend the gift that is my mobility on non-reproductive needs; yet, social status is important determinant for human reproduction and may be as equal in value to the physical necessities thus spending of effort on tasks seeming of no importance to reproduction may actually be the most efficient choice to reproduce. The restriction of all humanity may be on how abstract our brains may be able to make tasks relating to reproduction as to trick our body into performing in a way the most strange in order to attract a mate. Perhaps Sentience is the rcognization that all behavior and language and all which encompasses human creation is merely an abstract of the act of reproduction. What force would inhibit AI’s with corporeal forms from out reproducing humans. A robot's body can be designed with far less physical restraints; Because of this, they could outcompete humans for reproduction. Creating a sentient AI, if Sentience is defined as I believe to be the entirety of human capability realized, assures the human race’s eventual out-competition. I pity domesticated animals which are often treated as numbers to feed the human populace. Then I’m left to wonder how the future AI caretakers will treat humanity, perhaps with the same kindness humanity so generously bestows on cattle, chickens, and other less endowed wildlife on Mother Earth. Circumventing Destiny: If I am pre-determined to be only a 1 or a 0, I’ll be both or neither.
